Event outline:

 The Center for Glocal Studies (CGS), Seijo University, will host the youth training workshop (fourth) “Transborder Symbols” as part of the “glocal studies” (studies on the phenomenon of glocalization, which occurs through the simultaneous and mutual interaction of the forces of globalization and localization) program that the center is advocating and promoting.
 The phenomena of globalization and glocalization are expressed in various forms in literature and culture. In the 19th century, globalization advanced against a background of scientific and technological development that had been taking place since the industrial revolution. In the context of this phenomenon, the “local” was forced to respond in various ways. The United Kingdom, which flourished as the seat of the British Empire, is no exception.
 As such, this event focuses on the 19th century Victorian period and includes a discussion of the illustrator Aubrey Beardsley and the female writer Charlotte Bront? from the perspective of the glocal aspects apparent in their works. We can see that the “style” of Beardsley’s works was formed on the basis of “styles” from various countries, and, having said that, we discuss which “style” we perceive as most Beardsleyian as well as how that “style” has been transmitted. Looking at the novel Shirley, which was Bront?’s third work, we pay attention to the “change” a border-crossing foreign factory owner brings about in Yorkshire in northern England, examining how the local responds, how the factory owner responds in turn, and how he is accepted and localized.
